"Um, Doctor?" Kara asked slowly, looking at a figure in the distance.
"What?" he said irately, he was looking for something.
"Doctor," Kara's voice had extreme urgency in it. The Doctor looked over at her and she pointed to the figure, just standing there. It's a guy," she said, her voice soft.
"Yes," the Doctor said, "but WHO is he?"
The figure turned towards them, looking straight at the two of them, but the sun had begun to rise behind him, making it hard to see him. "He's coming towards us," Kara said suddenly.
"But why?" Kara asked in response to her comment. The guy just came closer. Kara began to be able to see more of the guy; he was in good shape, but he was just an ordinary looking guy. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and he had a very nice tan. The guy looked at the Doctor, then at Kara, and then back to the Doctor.
"Hello there," he said, his accent was American, not fitting the rugged Australian terrain. He lowered his head in a welcoming gesture, and stretched his hand out to Kara. "Welcome to the middle of nowhere," he said, taking Kara's hand and shaking it.
"Who are you?" the Doctor demanded, his accent evident.
"Me? I'm just Dave, who are you?" the boy, for that's what he was, not much older than 15 years old, said, turning the question to the Doctor.
"He's the Doctor," Kara said, "and I'm Kara"
"You're American," Dave asked
"Yeah," Kara sighed, about to ask him not to say anything when he surprised her.
"Wonderful! Nice to see another person shipped Down under from Stateside!" He was very enthusiastic. "And you're from England, right?" he asked the Doctor.
"No," the Doctor said indignantly.
"Ignore him; you won't get to the bottom of it like that. So, Dave, what are you doing, no one else is around"
"No one would be, no one lives here," he said to her.
"You're the only one here," the Doctor said, "all alone in a deserted town, where no one lives, and we just happen to get thrown off track to this very spot, a little odd, don't you think?" he looked at Kara, "Kara," he said warningly, "I think—"
"Yes, I know, don't worry; I know what I'm doing!" Kara smiled at the Doctor.
"He does have a point," she coaxed, "we don't know how we—"
"Oh no, you mean it happened again?" Dave groaned, "That's why I came here in the first place, I was attracting too much trouble. I was disowned by my family. That's why I'm here," he was resting his head in one hand.
"Doctor," Kara said softly, looking up at the Time Lord.
"I think," the Doctor began, "I think I know a way of life that will fit you well," Kara saw the thoughtful look in his eyes, and hid a smile.
"Really?" Dave asked, looking up.
"Yup, you can come with us," the Doctor said, getting an odd look from Kara, but he ignored it and the three of them piled into the TARDIS.
"Whoa," Dave said, looking around inside, "It's—"
"Bigger inside, yes, come on, we were on our way out before you sidetracked us," Kara said shortly. She then ran over to help the Doctor.
